        This does work but increases the execution time of the site by 5secs. I'm not sure why but my menu loads 16secs with these chunks / calls (all cached). With TV loading in wf.nameoftv it loads 21-30secs!

        Something must be very wrong here. sad

          It's weird. Now after testing multiple options I am again on an issue with phpthumbof. Resource loads better (but incomplete – some images missing which are in code but not in output) if i uninstall phpthumbof. Again loads slowly (now about ~7secs) if I install phpthumbof.

          Problem is that I have images that are on background (full size) and in navigation (125px). Means I somehow have to scale them.

          EDIT:

          It might have been AutoFixImageSize plugin which was uninstalled (if you trust package management) but indeed was active and in mgr as a plugin. after manually deleting the plugin site performance increased a lot.
          Now testing.

          EDIT2:

          So a fresh load of the site causes a first loading time of Wayfinder of 10-30secs:
          [2011-12-15 20:09:44] (ERROR @ /index.php) modSnippet: Wayfinder executed in 27.6725 s
          

          then after reload:
          [2011-12-15 20:10:01] (ERROR @ /index.php) modSnippet: Wayfinder executed in 0.3925 s
          

          This is something to address. I think 30secs even uncached is bad performance. And every time I change something on a Resource it again loads up to 30s.

          The other thing indeed maybe was AutoFixImageSize. [ed. note: smooth-graphics last edited this post 12 years, 4 months ago.]
          • Anselm:

            Out of curiosity, are you using ACLs on any Media Sources that might be associated with Template Variables on the Resources being consumed by Wayfinder in this call?

              I currently don't have any ACLs besides the default ones.
              • I have a feeling this is a Wayfinder issue. I'll have to look at it in more detail...

                    Is there any news yet? Hope to be able to release this site with 2.2 as soon as possible.

                      So far, I am still unable to diagnose any issue with the standard components or any obvious slow downs in 2.2 after upgrading several sites. Any additional information on your end?
